Qing Zheng Xiao Jin Li

Chapter 25 Sister Zhou: Striving on the Path to Not Being Useless

63 out of 100, this should just be the number of contestants remaining.

After thinking it through, the taut string in Luoli's mind relaxed a little.

She started watching the live stream with enjoyment.

At the same time, more and more viewers were joining the live stream.

Within just one hour, the main live stream channel had a capacity of one million people.

The contestants also started waking up one after another.

In the morning rainforest, the scent of grass and trees permeated everywhere.

Just taking a breath allowed one to feel an incredibly dense life force.

Waking up, Zhou Niannian felt completely refreshed. Her previously weak body finally responded to her control.

Stepping out of the tent, looking at the expanse of green, her mood improved considerably.

She stretched, raising her hands above her head, her expression one of pure ease and joy.

"Comfortable!"

Only after falling ill did one truly cherish their own health.

She hadn't expected the medicine Jiang Fan gave her to be so miraculous.

No injections, no medicine, and her illness was gone overnight!

Compared to before, when a bout of illness would require a month of hospital visits.

It was simply divine!

But thinking of Jiang Fan, what followed were his disdainful words from last night.

Thinking about it made her angry. She glanced at Jiang Fan's tent, which showed no signs of activity—

Well... this lazy bum hadn't woken up yet.

"You said yesterday I was holding you back, I'll show you my true strength!"

Muttering this, Zhou Niannian equipped her military knife, chose a direction, and resolutely plunged into the forest.

At least for today's breakfast, she would prepare it before Jiang Fan woke up.

That way, Jiang Fan wouldn't call her a burden!

Thinking this with delight, Zhou Niannian hummed a tune with a good mood.

The viewers who had just entered the live stream saw Zhou Niannian, full of energy and humming, and were stunned.

"What's going on? If my memory isn't mistaken, this woman had a severe cold last night, right?"

"Brothers ahead, your memory is fine. I remember it too. How is she better overnight? What kind of medicine did Brother Jiang brew? Is it that magical?!"

"Damn, a miracle drug! Brother Jiang, come out and share, I also catch colds easily, please let me get better overnight too!"

They had originally wanted to see Jiang Fan go on a rampage today without Zhou Niannian holding him back.

Who knew this woman, Zhou Niannian, had actually recovered!

It's only been this long?

One night!

And she's completely recovered!!!

Even the commentator Lele seemed bewildered.

She also remembered Zhou Niannian's miserable state before the stream ended last night, with numb hands and feet.

They had even worried then if Zhou Niannian would be eliminated because of it.

How is she better now?

"I'm also curious. Jiang Fan only used some herbs yesterday. How did she get better so quickly?"

"It should be dandelion, plantain, and echinacea, all herbs that can treat colds."

Bei Ye, more knowledgeable, recalled the herbs he had seen before and speculated.

"Dandelion and plantain are both heat-clearing and detoxifying. Drinking them decocted during a cold can be quite effective. Echinacea has an auxiliary effect in treating sore throats."

Due to frequent wilderness survival situations, he had encountered many scenarios.

The most easily found remedies in the wild were herbal medicines.

And the one who utilized herbal medicine to its fullest was Chinese medicine from Long Country.

Therefore, Bei Ye had also learned related knowledge and had extensive research on various herbs.

"Speaking of which, I must mention that your Long Country's traditional Chinese medicine is truly wise."

"In the wild, being able to utilize this knowledge can save lives."

He praised it without reservation.

Lele also smiled along.

Who doesn't like seeing things from their own country praised?

Especially traditional Chinese medicine, a crystallization of wisdom that had been passed down for ages.

Bei Ye's commentary and praise not only improved the impression Chinese viewers had of him but also increased their respect and admiration for Jiang Fan, who understood traditional Chinese medicine.

Lin Yang listened to the commentary, a slight smile on his lips, pride and a sense of honor surging within him.

Seeing Zhou Niannian start to look for food, he knew what was happening and found it amusing.

"Sister Zhou is not having an easy time. To prove she's not useless, she has to go find food before Brother Jiang wakes up."

"She's almost evolved into a housewife, hahaha!"

Thinking of Zhou Niannian's usual lazy demeanor on the stream, and then seeing her proactive attitude now.

Jiang Fan was undoubtedly responsible for such a significant change.

This was also the sentiment of Zhou Niannian's fans.

A row of thanks appeared on the barrage.

"Thanks to Brother Jiang for making Sister Zhou diligent. Ah, my wife, she just needs some good training."

"What daydreaming are you doing ahead? Whose wife? Pfft."

"Same thanks to Brother Jiang. This woman just needs some tempering, please don't hold back, give her more, hahaha."

"Sister Zhou is great in every way, a pity she just has a big mouth. If only Brother Jiang could help cure that."

Lele broke out in a cold sweat seeing the barrage, and couldn't help but admire Zhou Niannian.

Fans are fans; while thanking, they don't forget to stir up some trouble.

Fortunately, the contestants couldn't see the live stream right now.

Otherwise, Zhou Niannian would probably be angered to death by these unserious viewers.

Thinking this, Lele continued her commentary.

"After one night, there are still 63 contestants remaining. Many teams have been reduced to a single person."

"Fortunately, after a night's rest, Jiang Fan and Sister Zhou's team managed to stay."

"On the first day, the contestants had a good chance to adapt to the deserted island. The time that follows will depend on how they survive on the island."

This was the main event.

Adapting to the island, the tasks were similar; the greater focus was on finding ways to live more comfortably.

The contestants were all streamers, and they knew this was a prime opportunity to gain fans. Naturally, they didn't want to suffer on this island or lose fans here.

Of course...

Zhou Niannian, who didn't care about her image and had a big mouth, was an exception.

She was smart this time and first observed if there were any wild fruits that small animals had eaten.

If animals ate it and it was safe, humans would surely be safe too.

Using this technique, Zhou Niannian successfully found a variety of edible fruits and, with delight, headed back to camp, praising herself.

"Oh, look at me, I'm so smart. I can even think of this technique, hehe."

"This time, let's see what Jiang Fan can say about me!"

Finally, having successfully found fruits, Zhou Niannian felt a sense of vindication.

Her waist no longer ached, her legs weren't sore, and she walked with more energy!

She held her head high and chest out, striding back to camp.

But she found the camp looked just as it did when she left.

The fire in the wooden stakes was still burning normally, and her tent was open.

However, Jiang Fan's tent showed no signs of activity.

Zhou Niannian couldn't help but frown.

"This guy, he said I was a burden last night, and today he's sleeping so late."

"No! How can I let him be lazy?"

The more she thought about it, the more excessive it seemed. Zhou Niannian carefully placed the wild fruits down and stood at the entrance of Jiang Fan's tent.

Taking a deep breath, she pulled open the tent flap and shouted.

"Wake up!!!"
